Welcome to Mr. Lawton's Young Adult Literature Page!
Internet Etiquette: 1. Remember that anything you change is seen by Mr. Lawton. I receive notification every time a change is made, and by whom, anywhere on the wiki. 2. Only school appropriate language is to be used on our classroom wiki. This includes the messaging feature. 3. Use the laptops with care. Do not change anything without permission from your teacher. 4. You only have the right to change your work in ms word or on YOUR page of our class wikispace. All other student work is off limits to you.
When completing your work for the wiki remember - Always write using professional, intelligent, school appropriate language. Focus on your sentence structure - capitalize the first letter of a sentence, use punctuation at the end of the sentence, NEVER use texting abbreviations, and ALWAYS capitalize "I". Remember, you never know who might be reading your comments and we want people to believe we are brilliant! Also, take a moment to READ what you have written before you post your comment. In this way you can correct any mistakes before they are entered FOREVER.
